Also, there's some @WeAreCyclingUK
involvement if you read down.
We've long supported the campaign by @SarahCoombesWB 👏to get the illegal trade in ghost/cloned plates stopped. Watch "Ghost Plates: Drivers Cheating the Law". Link in the post below. How many dangerous drivers are using these plates with impunity?
A system perfectly designed to get the results we get = ghost plates and illegality. Action from @transportgovuk @DVLAgovuk @PoliceChiefs is welcome .
As usual a small % break the law and put the rest of us at risk.

Cycling UK's action is important to prevent withdrawal of the cycle-train option.
There are various challenges to cycle carriage in other parts of the country.
#Merseyfail has banned non-folding e-bikes from its trains and stations. We asked Merseyrail to meet and share the evidence, they said no.
We’re challenging the ban via our Cyclists’ Defence Fund.
